So I'm planning on purchasing a new keyboard since I feel like my Logitech keyboard is already old. I was wondering if I should choose the Mac-style keyboards (Slim Keyboard) or still the Soft-touch Logitech Keyboards. I currently have the Logitech Y-UR83 Classic Touch Keyboard. Which one should I buy?

Go to a store the sells keyboards and has a selection to demo. Pick the one that suits you. A keyboard is all personal preference.

I don't know what you use a keyboard for day-to-day, but as far as I'm concerned, a mechanical keyboard will be better than most anything else no matter what the situation is. They are good for gaming and great for typing. I'd look at an entry level mechanical keyboard.

Sounds like a personal crisis that you will have to solve, but the slim Mac-like keyboards are sweet. Just my two-cents. :)
